Another Castle of The Purple Nightmares

[magaru]

Hi, fellow Purple Nightmares and welcome to our backstage post! Let's get to know each other with this mini friending meme, shall we? Post you answers in THIS thread. I'll be also starting some discussion threads below, feel free to add your own! Everything goes, this is our castle so don't be afraid that you might be "spamming too much" or anything.

<b>Name:</b> <b>age/gender/location (if you are comfortable sharing that)</b>: <b>How long have you been playing Colors?</b> <b>Contact?</b> <b>Fandoms?</b> <b>Anything else></b>

Band bonding is important but we don't want to fall behind other bands with our score, do we? Once the games start, we'll be keeping track of what our bandmates have answered in THIS thread.

IMPORTANT! Remember to put our band's name, The Purple Nightmares in your reply to all the BOTB games! If you forget about this, you won't get a point!

I hope we do well in the competition but most importantly I want everyone to enjoy Battle of the Bands so please don't be afraid to point it out if you think something can be done in a better way!

Lastly, have a song! Don't be fooled by the title, it's totally purple >o<

"The Birthday Massacre - Red Stars + LYRICS" (Watch on YouTube)

Also, Netbug and Ets - please let me know what purple-themed female character would you like to represent you in our banners! Doesn't matter if she's already in the banner somewhere as long as not in a player spot.

GAMES THREAD

[magaru]

For keeping track of game answers!

GAME 1 - Gin-sensei's Poke Rock-off

[magaru]

Found here! C'mon Purple Nightmares, let's fight his Pokemon with our Pokemon!

If anyone is not into Pokemon or needs help with figuring out what cards would be best for this game, just link to what Gin-sensei is using against you and I (and possibly other players) will help you figure out what should you look for! (I asked and made sure - it is okay for your teammates to tell you the exact card names)

If anyone needs a crayon or two, let me know and I'll gladly help!

GAME 2 - Star Power, Dress Up!

[magaru]

Found here!

A dollmaker task, easy and cute! I don't think anyone would need help with this one but I'd love to see what you make with these dollmakers!

Re: GAMES THREAD

[magaru]

Found here! It's a trading task, so we'll need teamwork! I made a spreadsheet for out team, for easy checking if someone still needs a trade for this task (just mark the appropriate field when you trade with someone)

My card post is found here and you don't have to offer me anything I'm collecting! Just give me any random card :D

GAME 4 - Le Chanson de Roland

[magaru]

Found here! It's a word puzzle that you fill in youself this time. Color related words and music related words. We can do this, right, team? o/

If you are having trouble, there are word puzzle solvers on the internet that can help you, just google them!

GAME 5 - Sing Along!

[magaru]

Found here! It requires teamwork and I'm going to ask you all for one thing - when you make three donations and score a point for youself, please, PLEASE stop donating for the time being unless it's needed for a player who hasn't scored a point yet to comment. We've had games like this in previous Leagues and there have been instances of teams locking some of their players from scoring a point because they weren't able to comment the required number of times and their teammates used up all their donations before. Some of our members like ets haven't showed up yet and we don't want to lock them out this game, right? I know you would like more cards but I'm not asking you to give up on the bonuses, just to wait a little with them!

If you need a card, you can take anything from my trade pile that fits. Just leave a comment here what you are taking and log it as a gift from me. No need to wait for any confirmation or anything!

GAME 6 - Song Writing Corner

[magaru]

Found here! It's similar to yesterday's game but it doesn't take up any cards, you just use names of the decks you are collecting! Just like yesterday I'll ask you to wait a little with your extra lines to not lock any latecomers from participating.

wanted to use one of my decks that seem unfit for this challenge and you have no idea how tempted I was to put "I can cure Black Death" OTL

GAME 7 - Breather

[magaru]

Found here! I see that almost a half of our team has replied already, you are all awesome ♥ Again, it's not a game that would require much help but if you find yourself without headcanon ideas, maybe teammates can inspire you?

ANYTHING ELSE!

[magaru]

Any discussion topics you can think of go here, as serious or silly as you want!

GIF THREAD

[magaru]

I'll start with the very fitting one you've seen already.



(The Purple Nightmares are ready to kick your butt)

MY PURPLE GIRL

[ets]

Sorry for the late reply, I fell really ill last week! All good to go now though (mostly) XD

I updated the Google doc before seeing this but my #1 purple girl of choice is Ayane! :'D I saw you post her gif in the other thread so I was unsure if I could use it. She's my fave character to play in Dead or Alive, I'm in love with her attitude, her swirly kicks and her taunts! ♥

So haha YES if I could switch the image then my first choice would be this one!

Re: MY PURPLE GIRL

[magaru]

Sorry that this took so long! I updated the images some time ago but had problems accessing my server. Everything should work fine now, though!

ITS OVER

[netbug009]

I AM SO NERVOUS ABOUT THE RESULTS there are some rounds I couldn't figure out and I'm so scared I let everyone down. D':

Re: ITS OVER

[magaru]

Ah, I'm pretty sure our team did great! Some of the rounds were really hard or required specific skills like seiyuu recognition, I don't think many players completed all of the tasks anyway!

THIRD PLACE

[netbug009]

GUYS IF I UNDERSTAND THE SPREADSHEET WE'RE IN THE TOP 3! :D

Re: THIRD PLACE

[tempestuously]

Whooo not bad!
